Paying almost exactly €1000/year for electricity for a family of 4-6 adults (depending upon who is currently living with us). Solar panels are barely worth it, at that rate, but definitely worth it if we add air conditioning and an e-auto. 🤔

I put my Brainstorm score quite high and now I am finding some of my favorite below the fold and feel like I need to actually finally give them a follow instead of just stumbling over their stuff in the threads. So, to my new follows: Congratulations on your new, higher Brainstorm score. 🫡

**Your money shouldn't be work. Your money should be where you store your work.** I am not going to babysit my cash all day to see if it gets hacked or rugged. Fuck that noise, man. And I'm sick of the mantra that it's totally okay to keep small bits of money in that wallet but not more than that cuz it might disappear. #wearesoearly. Small amounts of money _also_ shouldn't disappear. I am not going to put more of my money someplace that it is likely to disappear from. That is why I am trying to get out of the banking system, ffs. This is supposed to be the place I can put it, that it _won't_ disappear from! I've been at the forefront of the Lightning, Cashu, Nutzap, whatthefuckevah experiments for 4 years, and I am tired, boss.

Public service announcement: **Get your sats on-chain.** Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.

Wow, integrating Brainstorm and PoW into the trust filter is a game-changer. Genuinely good work. Thanks, guys.

PoW minimum 20, please.

I totally ♥️

If you can use AI to build video games, that makes it military-grade. They aren't pausing the building. They're pausing the releases.

The longer I am here, the more I realize that my main dev talent is recognizing data structures and workflows that will work in a fundamentally superior way to whatever is Today's Hot Thang, despite the fact that hardly anyone agrees with me and everyone is telling me I am a stupid loser who can't admit that I am just stupid and a loser and your shit don't even work LOL, and just hacking away at implementations for years until everyone else can see what I saw at the beginning. I sometimes feel a bit like Noah building his boat. A very very small boat. But a boat. In the desert. Give me two years. The rain. It is coming. But I sometimes wonder, is it that I can see the solution, or is it that I have some deep, inner confidence that I can always find a way through, if I keep hacking away for long enough and find enough frens to help? If we all just hack away, together, for long enough... I've never not gotten through. I wonder.

Someone got me to finally look at the Monero price chart and now I feel more late than early. 😂 I always feel early, but I am always actually late.
